If your shotgun is like mine there should be a metal plate about half way up the wood stock. In that plat will be a decorative bar - that bar should slide out to the left of the right, thus detaching the wood stock from the barrell.
Many manufacturers manufacture double barrel shotguns in either a side by side (SxS) or Over/Under configuration. double barrel was made on July 1 1875 in England. by westley Richards co. it is a hammerless 12 guage
I found mine under the barrell. You will need to remove the wood under the barrell in front of the triggers.
This is a double barrel, over/under shotgun.
There should be a screw or release lever under the forearm of the gun. Once you release that you should be able to remove the barrel.
The wooden piece under the barrel of a breech-loaded shotgun is called the forend or forearm. It serves to protect the shooter's hand from the heat of the barrel during firing and provides a secure grip for handling the shotgun. The forend can come in various shapes and styles, often reflecting the design and aesthetics of the shotgun.
Check the receiver, barrel(s), under the barrel(s), under butt place.
